I did wonder about this when I nominated
The Crimson Chalice (the first of a trilogy). I think the problem is that different people will give a different answer (just as some people find almost any leading information to be a spoiler, so some people will find almost any unclosed detail to be a cliff-hanger).
In the case of
The Crimson Chalice I would say that the first book can be read on it's own. It leads you to a distinctive conclusion such that the second book starts a dozen years later.
Of course, if
The Crimson Chalice is not available in the U.S. then I don't really expect it to get voted in.
